VINE Search for Terrytown Released Inmates
The Louisiana VINE system covers Jefferson Parish and every other parish in the state. It is a good tool when you are not sure which facility is holding the person. VINE shows custody status, facility name, and release info. Data from parish jails updates every 15 minutes.
You can register on VINE to get alerts about a specific inmate. When their status changes, you get notified by phone, text, or email. This is free and works around the clock.

Released Inmates from State Prison
People convicted after a Terrytown arrest may be sent to a Louisiana state prison. At that point, the Louisiana DPS&C takes over their records. The parish jail no longer has them. You can find state inmates by calling the DPS&C locator at (225) 383-4580. You will need the person's name plus their date of birth or DPS&C number.
State inmate records have strict limits on public access. Under R.S. 15:574.12, prison records held by the DPS&C are confidential. Only basic facts are available: age, offense, conviction date, and sentence length. The offender information page at DPS&C walks through how to use the automated locator and what data you can expect to receive. If a release date has been calculated, the system will have it.
Booking records and police logs from the original Terrytown arrest are still public under R.S. 44:3, even if the person later went to state prison. Those records stay with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.
